Currently I am using XmlReader (but I am open to other options) to parse an
XML file, and I would like to be able to stop/break the current parse
(simple enough) and then resume it later (say after a reboot). Is there any
way to get the current location in the file that the XmlReader has reached
so as to be able to restore that and start from that point later?
TIA.

I don't think so. If you have an underlying stream you could store the
stream position but I don't know of any way to store and restore the
state of the XmlReader.

I'm not too worried about the "state" of the XmlReader (I might be when I
get there but for now I'm assuming if there are any issues that I'll be able
to work round them).
I've looked at storing the stream position, but its evident that the
XmlReader reads in a buffer load because my stream position is at about the
8KB mark when I get to the first tag in the XmlReader.
Ahh ... Martin, you've been a great "sounding board". Knowing that the
XmlReader doesn't provide any way of doing this is useful. But thinking
about it, if the XmlReader reads in 8KB chunks (an assumption on my part,
but one which I ought to be able to test) then as a way of "restoring" I may
be able to get away with simply putting my read point 8096 bytes before the
last known position in the underlying stream and then deal with any errors
that get thrown up when XmlReader hits what it thinks is malformed XML. Bit
yucky, but this might work for me (if XmlReader will play ball). At least it
gives me an avenue to explore.
TA.

It seems like a lot of work to go through, and likely prone to errors due to
machine dependencies. How are you persisting the part that was read before
the reboot? Are you no longer interested in that portion of the XML after it
has been processed?

Fortunatly in this case the XML file whilst rather long is quite shallow. So
I can forget about what went on before, and if I come across a duplicate
section (which I will) then I can handle that (because each has a unique
ID). So, in short, I don't need to worry too much about what went on before
or the context. So, this isn't a generic solution by any means. (If I were
processing something like an HTML file then it would get too messy to be
viable.)
However, all this is still theory at the moment, as other work has pulled me
away from this. I am hoping to be able to prove whether or not thie approach
works for me either today or tomorrow.

Incase anyone is monitoring this or wants to do something similar one day
.... I've decided to abandon this approach. It just started to get too messy.
Since the XML is well structured I'm going to implement reader from scratch
which does exactly what I need. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |
